Reclaiming Purpose: Returning to Yourself through a GLOW lifestyle

What does it mean to live in alignment with your purpose?

For many, that question feels overwhelming- like there must be one single answer you are either failing to find or destined to miss. But purpose is not a performance or a mission. It isn’t a job title or a finish line. It is a felt sense of integrity, when your inner world and outer world match.  It is a way of being.

At Finding GLOW, we teach that purpose is personal. It evolves just as you evolve. It comes alive in the choices you make, the values you uphold, and the way you treat yourself and others.

But sometimes, any one of us can get lost or become separated from this for one reason or another.  What gets in the way?

Often, it's not a lack of motivation or desire, but a lack of internal safety- really understanding who you are, how to meet yourself or your needs, and having your boundaries or values held without being fully defined or embodied.  Perhaps you don't even know where you've given these parts of yourself away ...and life just kept moving.  You are not alone in this and it does not have to stay this way.  When this happens it is easy to sacrifice yourself in unhealthy ways that are actually harmful.  

Living with chronic stress, unresolved trauma, or a deep pattern of people-pleasing or martyr-dom creates a state of survival. Rest, confidence, peace- they all become compromised.  You can’t live on purpose when you're living on edge. The nervous system needs calm to access clarity. The mind needs compassion to access courage.  Your body needs Love in order to fully heal.

According to a 2022 study in Frontiers in Psychology, self-alignment (living in accordance with personal values) is significantly correlated with psychological well-being, lower anxiety, and higher life satisfaction. Living in conflict with your values, even unintentionally, increases emotional exhaustion and stress. In other words, disconnection from your purpose doesn’t just feel bad. It creates physical and emotional strain.

The GLOW mindset offers a roadmap home. Through Grace, Love, and Observation, you begin to build internal trust. You release harsh expectations and make space for compassionate accountability. You stop seeking outside validation and start honoring your own voice.  You reconnect with your Whole self in everyday living. 

GLOW is not about hustle. It’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering what’s always been within you, and giving that self the space to expand and breathe.

Bad news, there's no trophy at the end.  Purpose isn’t something you achieve.  Good news is that it’s something you embody and it moves with you. And when you live from that place, you begin to show up differently: more present, more powerful, and more whole.  It doesn't have to be hard and it gets exponentially easier along the way.
